Is online marketing the only way. Nope. The other ways still work, in some cases better than they used to. Direct mail, print advertising, door to door (where it is still allowed), radio, we can’t forget TV, word of mouth, phone calling both warm and cold, texting, faxing, and referrals. I will deal with each of these from time to time, and perhaps others that I have not mentioned.
Online marketing, needs to be in the mix for most businesses. Not all as some would have you believe. Again, the internet is simply a medium, the types of marketing still vary. Pay per click, ad words, blogs, facebook paid advertising, online magazines, e-mail, pop ups, organic searches, twitter, linked in, tumbler, google+, and again, many that I have not mentioned.
So, you decide to go online to market. If you are older and have not used the internet in your worklife, you might be wondering where and how to start. Plenty of people and websites will proudly proclaim they are THE way to go. Buy their product and all your problems are solved. Great, but over 1000 different sites will tell you that. And you have to decide which ones are worth your time and money. Or you could go old school (if old school is even possible online) and learn by trial and error what will work. And what won’t. No matter what you do, it will take learning. Even if you pay someone else to do all of it for you, you still have to figure out who to pay because again, there are thousands who would be glad to do it for you.
And I am going to give you all the answers? Nope! I am going very old school and learning by trial, error, practice, persistence, and patience what will and will not work. I hope you enjoy my journey.
